This was Simona’s message on social media:
“Hi everyone, As some might already know, I have been struggling for a while with nose problems and it got worse during the summer, especially in Washington. This problem made it hard to breathe and even worse during the nights as I was going through completely blocked nose.
The only way to solve the problem was to undergo surgery. The doctor Daniel Popescu has performed it and taken this opportunity to also make a plastic surgery intervention. Thank you! I also want to thank my anesthesiologist Dr Uleia Alex. Everything went well. I will need a few weeks of rest before I can start again any physical activity. See you soon on the tennis court.”
